4th Gen Thread Issues

If that anecdotal view makes you not want to buy one, don’t. I don’t see what the issue is here

nobody here or anywhere else is asking you to buy a ‘24

 

Dude, the post I quoted earlier says (in your own words) you don’t care about facts. So you do you, I’m out.

 

Well, your posts are definitely trolling. We won’t know how the 2024 and 2025 stack up for another 8-10 years. So you don’t have any facts until then.

I’ve said it before. I won’t know if my truck is a keeper for another year. By then I’ll have a pretty good idea.

Until then, I’ll keep pushing back on weekend experts like you.

 

And many of us don’t think so. Problems happen, as with any new release, and have been fixed under warranty and on the production line. That’s how it should work.


But then you start talking about “facts,” despite all of this just being an unsolicited opinion about a truck you don’t want to buy

 

You’re a Toyota tech? Can you fill us in on the transmission failures? What’s causing it or any inside info you have? Thanks

 

I thought it was about facts?

 

That award goes to the 3rz

 

The 3rz was in tacomas

 

What state do you work in?

 

Speed trolling to 50 posts.
Must have some really good stuff to sell.

Yes, you're being that obvious. No, I won't engage.

 

Not a debris issue? Thanks

 

4 pages and counting…

 

Where to?

 

Perfect

Arizona is pretty cool. Does your Prerunner have a locker? You might need 4x4 there.

 

Since I own one, I'm knowledgeable about 2024.

What major issues are you referring to?

 

OP opened a can of worms and dipped. Posting in other threads but not the one he started in the 4th gen section.

It’s funny because the people without the new truck are the loudest.

 

My bet is that you also worked on second gens and third gens.

 

The old phrase tilting windmills from Don Quixote comes to mind. In automobiles through class 8 trucks with pickups between we now have turbos and Atkinson cycle engines dominating. If you like older stuff you have to do it with a used or antique like our Model A Ford. The Toyotas are high volume auto making.

A gen 4 has peak torque at low RPM and now I get the impression you haven't even experience the Dynamic Force family if engines.

You're just going to embarrass yourself on your out of the gate ideas. From my former experience doing actual quality control and production management in automotive, you clearly missed the simple math I posted. Since when are problems that don't reach 1% to 2% and addressed major? The current 170,000+ shipped against a few problems that were in hundreds to a few thousand is something every auto maker would like to achieve. Go do the same math (VINs in range of TSBs and recalls divided by quantities made) with some Stellantis, GM and Ford competitors.

You are totally find to like a prior model. I was happy to be that way and not rush out and get a new rig when some others came out but I could not say a new model was bad just because I did not yet buy one.

 

If you work on them look at the screens my dealer showed me week before last. It had the VIN and other quantification info. You can divide all those by the now 170,000+ sold. Those screens are part of what prompted the dealer staff to say it is a confirmed good vehicle so far.

It's also fine to skip generations. We did that with our Outbacks but I predict you have a long time before a 2nd year of a 5th generation. I figured my taking the plunge in mid-summer meant I'll have good EV choices for the next time.

 

At this point simple math is not idea stuff. It dates back to the cognitive revolution 10s of thousands of years ago.
